We had a lovely stay at Old Saddlers Cottage.

We had a lovely stay at Old Saddlers Cottage. A very homely cottage with plenty of space and everything you need. Check out Woodlands Country House, on a Tuesday for a fish and chip supper. Which is just 5 min walk away. The cottage is a perfect base to explore the Lake District. We would definitely return to the cottage again.

We loved our stay at Saddlers Cottage.

We loved our stay at Saddlers Cottage. It was spotlessly clean and we were greeted by a very thoughtful and generous welcome pack on arrival. It's a lovely, spacious cottage and had plenty of room for me, my husband and our 4 girls. We loved exploring the surrounding areas and enjoyed our evenings in the cottage playing games in front of the fire. We'd definitely recommend this accomodation and look forward to returning in the future.

Excellent cottage in a superb location, lovely local pub.

Excellent cottage in a superb location, lovely local pub. Only marked local amenities as good because there is only the pub. Supermarkets are only a short distance away however. There is just so much to do in the area we only scratched the surface.
